"Engaged?! Oh my god, how did that happen, oh you have to get the story on that, that is so crazy! I wonder what happened, it sounds like a great story! Well I have been busy myself, your not the only one having fun, I have been seeing this baseline in town, really nice guy, works at a restaraunt as a cook, really cute, real athletic. He is a native, but really, really cute, after everyone left, I went and hung out with him last night. We had a really, really good time," she smiles mischeviously.

"You'll be the first to hear about it," Karen replies with a wink, "A cook? That sounds great! What's his name? How did you meet him? Tell me everything."

“Good,” Mr. McCallister replies, “if you need anything just ask Mark, I work for you after all, in a matter of speaking. Well if you don’t have anything else, then you are free to go, meet at the Faculty Conference Room at ten, make sure you go over the info on that data card,” he hands Mark a keycard, “this will give you access to your new room.”

Mark took the card and nodded, "I'll be there."

Mr. McCallister gestured to the door, and it unlocks and the shutters open. “I am glad we had this conversation, if you need anything my door is always open, Mark,” he says standing up.

Mark started to rise when McCallister gestured to the door, but stopped when he spoke again. "Uh...yeah. Thanks." he answered awkwardly and quietly. Mark stood silent, looking at McCallister for a moment not sure what to do next and feeling suddenly underdressed in his tank top and shorts.

Flipping the datacard in his fingers, Mark blinked and let his eyes drop to the plastic. "I better get going if I'm going to read this stuff. Uh...thanks again," Mark repeated, confused but sincere. He turned and left a little quickly.

"If you need anything..." Why'd he say it that way? He already said he'd help with the investigation. Mark felt glad McCallister told him that, whatever it meant. He lingered for a second outside McCallister's now-closed door without really noticing anything before he realized Kelly was right there.

"Oh, hi Kelly!" he smiled.

"You'll be the first to hear about it," Karen replies with a wink, "A cook? That sounds great! What's his name? How did you meet him? Tell me everything."

Claire grins, “His name is Jova, he lives in the city. I met him online, he seemed really nice, and I met him at the restaurant he works at. He is a great cook, and really handsome, a great kisser, and more,” she blushes. She eats some strawberries, “We should double date sometime, yes? That would be great, I would really like that.”

Star replies to Anika, “I think Mark just has a big responsibility now. Something he has never had, considering where he has come from. It’s strange for him, but he tries hard, its just very hard for him. But swimming helps him relax, I just think he needs time.”

Star turns to Ryan, “He just needs the support of his friends on the team.”

"Yeah, not to mention less assassins after him, I guess," Anika says, sighing. "He just seems to put up a wall, though, pretends everything is okay and not letting anyone in. That's not healthy, trust me, I know. But, yeah, we defintely need to try and support him, no matter how he decides to deal with his problems. But if anyone can get through to him, I bet you can," she says, smiling at Star.

Star pauses, “And Karen is… is what?” she turns her attention fully to Ryan.

Anika crumples her brow, trying to remember what Star is talking about. As she does, the crumple becomes a furrow as she looks up at Ryan. "Yeah, Karen is what?" she asks him inquisitively.

"You're so lucky, guys who can cook are the best," Karen says smiling, sounding very sincere, "No interdimensional/galactic ex-s?" she jokes, "But yeah, a double date sounds fun, we really should do that sometime. I'd love to go out without getting a 'Living for rich people 101' for once."

Kelly smiles at Mark whe the door opens, and the smile grows to a grin when he notices and greets her. "Have you heard yet? I get to be on Legacy with you and Anika and Yoshi. Isn't that great? We all get to be teammates and help people together!" she exclaims exitedly, seeming genuinely ecstatic.

"So like do I get a nifty decoder ring and everything? And whats going on, Whats the team working on? I'm just like, super-excited, this is soo cool. You soo have to catch me up on everything." she pushes a strand of her hair up behind her ear, and smiles at mark, shyly, struck by how handsome Mark was. That was something else that Neuro had nothing to do with, how cute she thought Mark was. "Do you want to have lunch with me and get me caught up on everything? Tommy is flying me to Italy tonight for a congratulatory dinner, but I really would like to have lunch with you. So what do you say fearless leader?" she asks cheerly.

"Oh yeah, he just told me," Mark gestured at McCallister's closed door. "Congratulations," he smiled.

Mark blinked, "Mostly combat training. Tactics and stuff. Ryan gets to beat us up a lot."

"Do you want to have lunch with me and get me caught up on everything? Tommy is flying me to Italy tonight for a congratulatory dinner, but I really would like to have lunch with you. So what do you say fearless leader?" she asks cheerly.

Mark sighs, "I just found out I have a meeting at ten. I don't know how long it's going to last... Mark gestured helplessly. "It it got out at like 11:59 or something I could make it. I'll ask."

Mark turned around and knocked on McCallister's door. "Uh, how long is that meeting going to be, sir?" Mark asked if the door opened or the intercom came on.

Mark turned around and knocked on McCallister's door. "Uh, how long is that meeting going to be, sir?" Mark asked if the door opened or the intercom came on.

Mr. McCallister opens the door, "I can't give you a firm time Mark, but at least an hour maybe more. I wouldn't have anything planned, the UNJE tends to be thorough, and you will have alot of information to pick up," he says. He focus on Kelly, "Please come in Miss Mitchell, and have a seat."

Mr. McCallister gestures to the chairs in his office.

"Oh tell me about it, some of these students are too rich for their own good, I tell you," she says wagging her fork at Karen, "all prissy, and telling people to put this on their tab. I don't need to owe anyone anything, like that Kelly and Yoshi, both of them are just rich and spoiled, they get on my nerves!"

"Kelly is actually nicer than I had expected, she's not perfect but at least she's not rubbing in the fact that the entire world knows her ... too often. But Yoshi is just... I guess he's just a guy. What was he thinking yesterday just jumping into the SUV, was he trying to get us all killed or something? Sometimes I get the feeling Cassie isn't really happy with him throwing around his money either," Karen shrugs, "but we really don't have much to complain about, the allowance we get here is more than my parents would be able to afford."

Kelly's face falls a little when McCallister tells Mark that he sholdn't have any plans, she took it as a personal attack on her, after all she knew the Teacher didn't like her, and that she was the one Mark would have had to make plans with since he left the office. "We'll, if you get done, you get done and we can meet up, if not, no big deal, I guess, we can have lunch tomrrow or something." she tells Mark.

She waves goodbye to Mark and walks into McCallistar's office, seating herself at the indicated chair. "I guess we need to talk Mr. McCallister," she says to the teacher once he comes into the room.
